Planning on getting BBK for next season, I have my eyes on Wilwood, and the shop give me an update today saying the StopTech rotor is compatible with the Wilwood system....

Wilwood is most likely the way....

I dropped my Z off yesterday at dealership and was given a Sentra. Surprising how smooth and fast on freeway that it is.


I got my Z back this morning, and I appreciate it more after driving just transportation.

Tonight I am off to possibly have two root canals. I'll have the Z at least to comfort me.

It took six hours to actually post this, as I've been working all day.

Paid for two root canals, need two, but the one was so difficult (2 hours), I'm doing the the other next week.

I had a pretty good drive home too. VDC off and about a mile free of others then got behind someone that was showing off how fast he could drive his van. 40 in a 30 and I'll take it over 25 any day. I thought he was letting me by so I passed only to realize he was just losing control. I guess he got it back and came back onto the road. Thats how I realized he did not intend to let me pass.

Oh well, I completed the pass and he did not crash so all is well.

That is wicked hilarious....glad you made it through unscathed.

No telling who or what you'll encounter on the road anymore....makes you wonder how some people even obtain a license.

Took the Z for a drive down the highway and back. Very boring, very straight, piece of road. At least I was in the Z

I put fix-a-flat (which on the bottle it says your not suppose to put in Z-rated tires) in my back right tire because there is a slow air leak. My stock tires only have 11k miles

Yesterday was close to 100 degrees. At 6AM it was 76*. So driving home at four in the after noon the fog starts to roll in. By the time I get home the roads are wet and some people have their wipers on. As usual a Mustang is holding up traffic, A Lexus 330, me, a Subaru Forester, and finally a Ford 150 or similar 80's truck.

The 330 and took the other direction and in the final mile home, I was alone. I really like the new Michelins. I turned the VDC on, as it was wet and set the light off at one point. May have saved me and might be the usual flash when its off. But I do not recall it going off in this particular place.
